The CV Recorder 57B provides a radical new approach to generating modulation and voltage control signals. The implications for this module are extensive when placed in a modular synthesizer context.

Concept: Combine the ability to record and playback control voltage signal events from standard modules with the tools to shape, mix, loop and time scale these performances in a simple and repeatable manner. A brief list of possible uses for the 57B:

• Create asymmetric LFO shapes from Joysticks or ribbon controller signals
• Control panning and VCA parameters for automated mixing
• Record long analogue step sequence patterns while changing the step voltages and recording the clock simultaneously for later sync operations
• Combine and chain together random voltage patterns with sequences and LFOs on 4 channels
• Record envelope shapes and loop them while adjusting the loop start and end points.
• Perform granular synthesis type effects on CVs using short loops and sweeping the loop points through the sample under voltage control.
• Record lo-fi audio samples and shift playback frequency in real-time.

Features:

• 20Hz-20kHz Voltage controlled variable sample/playback rate with 1V per octave response
• 4 seconds of quad sampling @20kHz. Greater than 1 hour @20Hz
• Quad in/outs with 15 switch selectable channel recording configurations
• Record and playback simultaneously
• Rehearse mode for pre-recording experiments
• Chain multiple samples by recording with different loop points and sample rates.
• 3 loop modes: Forward, Reverse and Pendulum
• Panel and voltage controlled Loop start and End controls
• 3 Playback modes: One shot, Loop and Hold play
• Gate out provides short pulse at loop start
• Trigger input for triggering samples when not in loop mode
• Status Bi-LED indicates various record and playback states
• Channel LEDs indicate arming of channels for recording.
• 120MHz DSP processor and 4MB of parallel SRAM
